Cristian Andres Palomeque Valoyes (born 2 April 1994) is a Colombian footballer who plays for Honduran Liga Nacional de Ascenso club Juticalpa F.C.
Palomeque joined Alianza Petrolera on loan from Atlético Nacional, and made his debut on 20 October as a starter, scoring a goal in a 2âÂÂ1 victory against Universitario Popayán for the 2012 CategorÃÂa Primera B. He made his second season appearance against América de Cali, netting a double in a 4âÂÂ1 triumph at the Pascual Guerrero just nine days later. On 4 November, he scored against Atlético Bucaramanga in a 1âÂÂ0 victory. Palomeque would score against Bucaramanga once more, this time in a 2âÂÂ0 home win. In a decisive match against Deportivo Rionegro, Palomeque scored the second goal in a 3âÂÂ1 victory, thus allowing Petrolera to dispute the promotion play-off against América de Cali.
Despite having only played a handful of games, Palomeque's goal scoring abilities became an important factor for Petrolera as they reached their most important moment in history. In the first leg of the final, Palomeque netted what would be his most vital goal yet, helping Petrolera top América 2âÂÂ1. Him along with his team, failed to find the net in the second leg, with América eventually tying up the series at 2-2. However, he still managed to score in the penalty shoot-out which Petrolera remarkably won 4âÂÂ3, therefore being promoted.
After taking part in the Colombian team that won the 2013 South American Youth Championship, Palomeque made his first appearance in the CategorÃÂa Primera A against Atlético Nacional. On 20 April, Palomeque scored his first top division goal from a free kick in a 2âÂÂ2 draw against Deportivo Cali. He successfully converted a goal from the penalty spot on 12 May against Cúcuta Deportivo. Petrolera, however, lost the match 2âÂÂ3. Against Atlético Huila, Palomeque scored the sole goal in a 1âÂÂ0 victory.
On 24 January 2014, Palomeque joined Once Caldas on loan from Atlético Nacional. He scored his first goal for the club in the 93rd minute in a 1âÂÂ1 draw against Boyacá Chicó. His only other goal with Once Caldas was also scored against Boyacá Chicó in a 4âÂÂ1 victory at the Estadio Palogrande.
On 18 February 2015, he joined NASL club San Antonio Scorpions on loan. He scored the first goal in a preseason friendly against MLS side FC Dallas, that resulted in a 2âÂÂ1 victory for his club.
After a short unsuccessful spell in the United States, Palomeque joined Jaguares de Córdoba for the second half of the 2015 Torneo Finalización. During his tenure at Jaguares, he only scored 2 goals in a 4âÂÂ3 defeat against La Equidad.
On 7 January 2016, he joined Argentine Primera División club Colón on loan from Atlético Nacional.

On 14 January 2021, Palomeque joined Ecuadorian Serie A club Mushuc Runa. After a year without a club, on 5 February 2023, he joined Honduran Second Division club Juticalpa. His team reached the promotion final against Génesis and lost it in a penalty shootout 10âÂÂ9, after a 2âÂÂ2 draw. Palomeque hit the crossbar on his first attempt and had his second attempt saved by the keeper.
